1. Introduction: A Counterfactual Presidency
ι
Barack
Obama s ascension to the president was historic and seemed to
defy the facts of American politics. But the heady success of the
2008
election was mirrored by the
2010
midterm shellacking as the
president had to argue that his consequential, but controversial, policy
agenda had prevented disaster even ¡fit had not restored economic
boom times. A
50-50
nation is the result as
2012
approaches. Counter-
factual will need to become factual for the
Obama
administration to
live up to its transformative potential.

Change We Can Believe In Meets Reality
11
How have President Obama s actions matched up to candidate
Obama s vision of large-scale change? The record is mixed, owing to a
combination of historical circumstance, robust partisan opposition,
and the president s own choices. Yet perhaps the most fascinating
thing about the
Obama
administration after two-plus years in office is
the utter confusion about what it is.

Strategic Assessments: Evaluating Opportunities and Strategies in
the
Obama
Presidency
37
Presidential success rests not upon persuasion of legislators or the
public, but upon the presidents facilitation of policy change within the
constraints of the political context they inherit: they cannot create new
opportunities, but only take best advantage of those that exist.
Obama
(hardly alone among presidents) misread his electoral mandate and
overestimated his own persuasive abilities, given a hugely divided country.

Political Forces on the
Obama
Presidency: From Elections to Governing
67
In the polarized, partisan, and competitive world of American politics,
presidents must decide how to pitch their policy appeals. Obama s
early strategy was to appeal to his left-leaning base, not to the middle;
but in a country that remains to the center-right of the ideological
spectrum, this was
notan
approach likely to be entirely successful.
Obama
will need to move back to centrist ground
-
either by choice or
by being forced there by the
2010
midterm results
-
in order to win
back majority support for
2012.

Polarization, Public Opinion, and the Presidency: The
Obama
and
Anti-Obama Coalitions
94
Obama s
2008
victory sparked a brief moment of euphoric post¬
election unity-but the extraordinarily wide partisan differences in
presidential approval that typified George W. Bush s second term
would shortly reappear. A close examination of public opinion and of
the party coalitions that support and oppose the president, with
special attention to the Tea Party movement, suggests that
polarized division is not merely a consequence of national conditions
and Obama s political agenda. It also arises from deeper and more
fundamental divisions within the American polity.

Obama
and the Public Presidency: What Got You Here Won t Get You There
123
The politician s holy grail is the ability to communicate directly with
the mass public without mediation or commentary. The
Obama
administration, perhaps misreading its communications triumphs
during the
2008
campaign, sought to evade the traditional media
through various tools of social media and outreach. These were suc¬
cessful in reaching the White House s existing supporters, but less so
in addressing or convincing the wider public reliant on a new media
environment marked by narrowcasting.

The Privileges of Access: Interest Groups and the White House
149
The
Obama
administration made great show of its outreach efforts
launched through the new Office of Public Engagement. But in many
cases, those efforts were more for show than they were new channels
of valued policy advice. Insider interest group connections remained
the real locus of action, as exhibited in interactions on issues ranging
from health care to financial reform.

Rivals, or a Team? Staffing and Issue Management in the
Obama
Administration
171
History suggests that styles of White House issue management can
affect the way decisions are conceived and made. Obama s campaign
endorsement of a stylized team of rivals advising structure suggested
a competitive staff model that has real benefits in generating
presidential options
-
but at real costs to his managerial resources.
Exploring the staff and advising patterns of the administration shows
that those tradeoffs, and Obama s own stylistic preferences, prevented
the model from being fully implemented.

Doing Big Things:
Obama
and the 111th Congress
198
President
Obama
and his Democratic allies in Congress had ambitious
legislative goals and won correspondingly impressive victories on a
series of issues, including health care reform. But they did so with
nearly no cross-party support, in a body whose makeup and rules
encouraged minority recalcitrance, constraining both the substance of
legislation and the tactics used to pass it. After the
2010
midterms,
divided government combined with polarized legislators makes near
gridlock the most likely prognosis.

Obama
and the Law: Judicial Restraint at the Crossroads
223
Despite an occasionally contentious relationship with the Supreme
Court, the
Obama
administration was marked by a relatively hands-off
approach to this aspect of inter-branch relations. For reasons partly of
pragmatism and partly of philosophy, Obama s efforts generally side¬
stepped the courts in his efforts to implement more sweeping policy
reforms. At the same time, his war on terrorism
-
as waged through the
courtroom—has been every bit as forceful as that of his predecessor.

Ambition, Necessity, and Polarization in the
Obama
Domestic Agenda
244
The ambitious
Obama
efforts to shape long-term change while
dealing with short-term crisis inevitably walked a tightrope. He
shaped a remarkable record of domestic policy change, but major
challenges remained, not least to the nation s fiscal health -and
these were unlikely to receive comprehensive attention in the lead-up
to
2012.
Still, with the
2009-10
changes now the new status quo, they
will be difficult to dislodge even in the face of partisan rancor and
public misgivings.

Continuity and Change in Obama s Foreign Policy
268
Despite the warm glow it sparked in many quarters abroad, the new
Obama
administration faced a difficult balancing act between
acknowledging the constraints of a multilateral world and a
commitment to continued American strength and leadership.
Replacing Wilsonian militarism with restrained pragmatic realism
had important consequences, but was not necessarily novel. Indeed, in
some ways Obama s term was perhaps more like the second term of
George W. Bush, than Bush s second term was like his first.

13.
Economic Crisis and Political Change: A New New Deal?
295
The Great Recession and the continuing impacts of the financial crisis
crowded most other issues off the agenda during President Obama s
first two years
-
and probably the next two as well. His plans to deal
with the immediate emergencies of job loss and financial collapse
while taking action on the longer-term crisis of income inequality won
voter support in
2008
but Obama s election did not overthrow the
dominant conservative ideology. Positive policy change did not lead to
political reward.

Presidential Style and the
Obama
Presidency
331
The essential
Obama
comes wrapped around a paradox: he is both
goal-oriented as a politician, but consensus-oriented in his political
style. He is a careful (even cautious) decision-maker who makes dra¬
matic decisions. Thus the president faces a continuing tension
between achieving his policy ends and sustaining his political viability.
The result may be operational, if imperfect, outcomes—an inevitable
part of politics in a system where elections are rarely conclusive even,
as in
2008,
when they seem to be.
